Reader Terri L. has sent in more reports of car vandalism in the neighborhood this week. She wrote,
I live on Taylor Avenue on the east side of Queen Anne, and it has come to my attention that there have been several incidents of vandalism of cars. My car has been keyed twice in the last two months (even parked in the driveway!), my roommates car was hit by another car (a dent and scratches were the outcome), and I’ve also notice a few other cars having been keyed as well. I’m not sure if this is occurring in other areas of Queen Anne, but I thought I’d bring some attention to it, since there seems to be a rise in crimes around the city. I have filed two separate police reports about my vehicle, but there isn’t much the SPD can do about this type of crime.
Not sure if there’s much I can do either, but I thought I’d voice my frustration – and see if there were any other residents that have noticed anything suspicious going on.
This kind of crime is not unfamiliar to Queen Anne residents, especially recently. In fact, almost a year ago there was a similar incident of car keying and just last month a string of cars parked on the south slope of the hill had their windshields smashed in.
If anyone remembers seeing anything suspicious in regards to the recent car vandalism in the neighborhood, comment below or email me at tips@queenanneview.com
